Tesco shoppers in disbelief over '4p meal deal glitch'

It goes without saying that supermarket giant Tesco is known for its lunchtime meal deals.

For years, shoppers have flocked to the supermarket to get themselves a main, side and drink for £3 - saving some serious cash for doing so.

But some shoppers claim they've been getting full meal deals just pennies in some Tesco branches, with one customer claiming to have paid as little as 4p due to a technical glitch.

Taking to Twitter, one shopper tweeted a picture of their receipt, writing: "Two meal deals for £1.89? I think I broke @Tesco."

Another shopper said they'd managed to get an entire meal deal for just 4p thanks to the glitch.

They explained: "Tesco meal deals are broken right now btw, it takes off the difference between your meal and £3 twice. So I just got a smoothie, crisps and £2.75 sandwich for 4p! 4p."

Someone else shared a picture of their receipt, saying they were going to head back to store to get another meal deal.

Yet another satisfied customer shared a video on Twitter,  showing how the glitch was working at tills.

A Tesco spokesperson told Manchester Evening News: "We’ve now resolved a technical issue which affected some of our meal deals. We hope that those customers who received a little extra discount enjoyed their lunch."
